WARDROBE HOLDER.

Application. filed June 13,

This invention relates to Wardrobe holders, and has particular reference to an improved device for holding in a package or bundle, the contents'oi' a bag, suit case or the like, so that said contents can be conveniently handled either in parcels or as a single bundle, without becoming disarranged or wrinkled.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a very serviceable holder of the above kind which is 01 maximum simplicity of construction.

The invention consists in the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure l is a perspective view of articles held or tied in a parcel or bundle by means of a holder embodying the present invention, the articles being indicated by dotted lines to reveal the holder in its entirety; and

Figure 2 is a plan view of the holder in open condition, partly broken away.

Referring more in detail to the drawing, the present wardrobe holder embodies a pair of similar straps 5 provided at adjacent ends with clasp buckles 6 and connected intermediate their ends by means of a plurality of spaced transverse strips or bars 7. Two of the strips or bars 7 are preferably used suiiiciently close together to form a base upon which the lowermost article is placed in forming the package or bundle to be tied, the ends of the strips or bars 7 being tacked or riveted as 8, to the straps 5 so as to hold the latter in parallel relation.

The other extremities of the straps 5 are adapted to be adjustably receivedby the clasp buckles 6 when the device is secured in place upon the package or bundle of articles.

In using the device, it is placed flatly on a surface with the strips or bars 7 uppermost,

and then one the larger articles is placed on the intermediate portion of the holder lengthwise of the strips 7 and crosswise of the straps 5 so as to extend across the latter and to span the space between the strips 7 as shown in Figure 1. Other and smaller articles are then placed on top of this first article until all of the articles are used except one or more of further larger articles which are reserved and placed on top. The opposite ends of the straps are then brought across the top of the bundle or package and buckled together sulliciently tight to keep the articles in place, after which the package is placed in the bag or suit case.

From the above description it will be seen that the device is exceedingly simple, light in Weight and eliicient for the intended purpose, thereby insuring economical manufacture and ready and convenient use.

\Vhile the straps 5 are shown by full lines in Figure 1 with their respective ends connected together, their ends may be crossed With each end of each strap connected to an end of the other strap as indicated by dotted lines, thus preventing the top or" the bundle from bulging in the middle.

What I claim as new is:

A wardrobe holder of the character described comprising a pair of similar straps arranged in spaced parallel relation and having buckles at corresponding extremities to adjustably receive the other extremities, and a pair of spaced transverse strips secured at their ends to and connecting the intermediate portions of the straps, said strips being located sufliciently close together to form in conjunction with the adjacent portions of the straps a supporting base for the articles to be held when the extremities of the straps are connected.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

EDWIN L. MUNCH.
